hartnsoul The daughter is merely paying respects and sharing how she knew her father who just passed. Yes MJ is an icon, a big star, but we tend to miss the fact that he's human just like the rest of us. More importantly he is a father. I'm glad to hear his daughter...

hartnsoul I can understand how you felt during that situation. Sometimes we muster enough strength in planning the right words to say to our husband but somehow at the time when we are about to talk to them, it seems so difficult to utter the words. Writing can help. If...

hartnsoul Adoption is quite a sensitive topic. Reading your post, I don't feel your response was selfish. You were simply articulating the pros and cons of adoption. If your able to bear your own bloodline, its a blessing. But if biologically you cannot, adoption would...

hartnsoul I guess the only explanation there is they dont really love the lady in question. These are egocentric people who court women to show off as trophies. They spend more time with their cars because the cars don't talk back and comment on their iniquities.

hartnsoul I believe that reading is important. I like reading to my daughter books and magazines because it develops in her an imagination that money cant buy. We also become closer because it allows us to spend more time together despite my busy schedule at work.
